Description

The Fender Quantum HD 8 expands on the HD 2’s precision and workflow, offering 26 x 30 channels, ADAT expansion, and versatile monitoring for full-band recordings and complex production setups. Featuring MAX-HD mic preamps, ultra-low-latency drivers, and 32-bit / 192 kHz converters, the HD 8 captures every detail of instruments, vocals, and line-level sources with studio-grade fidelity.

Front-facing Fender instrument inputs, Auto Gain, and re-amp outputs provide fast setup and creative flexibility. Expanded I/O includes ADAT inputs and outputs, additional TRS line outputs, MIDI I/O, and ADAT preamp standalone mode — making it easy to scale your studio and accommodate larger sessions.

Control preamp gain, phantom power, and outputs through Fender Studio Pro or the Universal Control app, while built-in DSP monitor mixing and loopback routing ensure a streamlined workflow. The HD 8 also comes with a perpetual Fender Studio Pro license.
